PURSUANT TO RULE 14 OF THE TRIBUNAL PROCEDURE (UPPER TRIBUNAL) RULES 2008, THE APPELLANT IS GRANTED ANONYMITY.
NO-ONE SHALL PUBLISH OR REVEAL ANY INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE NAME OR ADDRESS OF THE APPELLANT, LIKELY TO LEAD MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO IDENTIFY THE APPELLANT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER COULD AMOUNT TO A CONTEMPT OF COURT .
             The Appellant is a citizen of Iran. Shortly after his arrival in the UK in 2016 he claimed asylum on the basis of his claimed sexuality. That claim and his subsequent appeals failed on the basis that his claim to be gay was not credible.
             He now seeks asylum (or other international protection) on the basis that he is at risk on return to Iran because he has converted to Christianity. That claim was rejected by the Respondent on 14 June 2022 and his appeal to the First-tier Tribunal ("the FTT") was refused by First-tier Tribunal Judge Moffatt ("the Judge") in a decision dated 27 February 2023 ("the FTT Decision"). The Appellant now appeals to this Tribunal against the FTT Decision with permission granted by FTT Judge Landes on 5 April 2023.
             Given the nature of the claim, I have decided that it is appropriate to anonymise the Appellant's identity notwithstanding the importance of the open justice principle. My anonymity order is set out above.
